“Due to the extensive damage brought by super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ in the eastern part of Visayas with thousands of lives lost and thousands of families displaced, I am requesting your benevolent support to the typhoon victims by extending your assistance,” said Fernandez in her appeal to the City Hall employees.

In line with this, Fernandez said that any donations in cash or in kind must be submitted to the city museum by contacting Lorna Collado there.

“The museum will be open from Monday to Friday at 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” Fernandez averred. (CIO/11-14-2013)
